not exactly a pedestrian friendly area for being so central to willowbrook, motor vehicle dept, the train station, etc. How is anyone ever supposed to get across the highway to begin with?

why was he out so late ?, my prays for him and his family

It was the last day of school yesterday, was probabily just going home.

Going home at 1:15 am on RT46? I guess he was a slow walker. Is this the same hit & run of a juvenile from Lincoln Park that happened in Wayne that's on News 12? Or is this another incident?

So sad! My heart goes out to his family!

anyone have a name of the victim?

@lil Wayne - Mateo Bolton was his name. Reported on north jersey.com

from wayne?

Lincoln park - north jersey.com stated," He got out of the car to retrieve his cell phone that fell out and a van hit him."

thanks for the update

Don't NOSE how you drop your cell phone out of a car doing 50mph on a highway. Still very tragic. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and to the driver that hit him. He has to live with that for the rest of his life

i feel bad for the kid. but also for the driver. all he was doing was driving on a highway. how traumatic to know you killed someone. horrible all around. so sad.

What the story leaves out is that they dropped a cell phone out the car window, then pulled over on the shoulder and got out to look for it.

Might have been taken a picture out the window when he dropped his cell out the window.

He was my cousin's boyfriend :( <3
